e1“Seven sweet pepper genotypes (Capsicum annuum L.) were evaluated under six treatments”
e5“In green fruits, PGPR inoculation under combined stress conditions increased glucose and fructose concentrations by 11.6% and 13.9%, respectively, compared to uninoculated stressed plants, although sucrose decreased”

Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Combined reductions in fertilizer and irrigation decreased average yield by 21.7%.
- Intervention effect PGPR did not fully compensate for the yield losses caused by combined reductions in fertilizer and irrigation.
- Intervention effect Alkaline phosphomonoesterase activity in the rhizosphere increased by 22.9% under low fertilization.
- Intervention effect Averaged catalase and dehydrogenase activities remained relatively stable regardless of PGPR.
- Intervention effect PGPR inoculation under combined stress increased fructose in green fruits by 13.9% compared to uninoculated stressed plants.
- Intervention effect PGPR inoculation under combined stress decreased sucrose in green fruits compared to uninoculated stressed plants.
- Intervention effect At the fully ripe stage, sugar composition was less responsive to the treatments.
- Association The genotype effect contributed significantly to all measured traits.
- Recommendation Evaluation of genotypes and their interaction with treatments is important for pepper breeding for sustainable farming.
